it's 2 point difference between Xavi and Cesc as I said before , Cesc can play in an advanced offensive role unlike Xavi , but Xavi makes up for it even more with his vision . And Iniesta imo should be ahead of Xavi because he is more direct player , more aggressive in attacking role , take for an example spain-italy match , Iniesta was far more dangerous than Xavi , passing wise or dribbling/attacking wise , but he's not on Xavi's level in terms of vision , don't know if I explained you good enough what I mean

The fact that hes more agressive, or direct is not a reason for higher attack. And I don't know what game you were watching, but xavi was much more dangerous with his passing.. he was as usual the best player on the pitch for spain, and he created the most chances.. what did iniestas passing creating?

The only area he ever beats xavi is in o offensive dribbling, as that his style.. not xavis.

and then again , there is that CMF/SS argument again , but hey , Xavi is always spectacular , I love his game , but I think Iniesta was bit more dangerous with all running and attacking , but maybe I'm wrong , both had great games on their levels , it's matter of taste what people like more , more direct way or smooth control with amazing passes . Iniesta every time he received ball created danger but pass he received was from Xavi , so then again , I really don't know

Tried to give him some form of update based on the suggestions, it's really unfocused though in whats actually agreed upon. I guess something a long these lines. Better than what we had anyways. I'd like to go even lower with attack, he doesn't compare with xavi/silva/iniesta.

he simply needs some more time to adjust perfectly to barca system , even playing as false 9 he was great , a lot of movement , passing , running behind the defense , just good overall performance by him on this EURO . About TS he is faster than 77 , just I wouldn't give it to him because he doesn't show it often , remember the goal by Sanchez vs Leverkusen when they both started running at same time with same amount of length to reach the ball ? They were almost same speed , Alexis had shorter and more strides than him , yet , he didn't outran him more than half the meter . But that one situation doesn't guarantee him he'll get higher value than this one , he can be faster , just chooses not to show it , or it's not needed most of the times . btw. what about TW ? Don't you think he was far more active in spain's attacks than 84 value would suggest ? He's not as lazy as that .
